1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The Aspergillus niger gene encoding pyruvate kinase was cloned by heterologous hybridization using a fragment from the corresponding yeast gene as a probe. The primary structure of the gene, including 5' and 3' flanking sequences, was determined. The structural part of the A. niger pkiA gene is 2054 bp long and is interrupted by seven putative introns. Splicing of the intron sequences results in an open reading frame of 1578 bp, encoding a protein of 526 amino-acid residues and a molecular weight of 58,130 Da. Extensive homology is found with pyruvate kinase from A. nidulans; only 33 amino acids are different between both proteins. Transformation experiments using the pyrA gene as a selection marker and the subcloned pkiA gene as a co-transforming marker led to increased levels of pyruvate kinase. Analysis of the transformants showed that in none of the transformants integration had occurred at the pkiA locus. Predominantly co-integration of the pyrA- and the pkiA-containing plasmids was found in the cases examined.
